Lizzie Davenport
has been reincarnated from Regency Era, England ... but she doesn't know it
yet.
Then Drew
Carmichael transfers into Lizzie's high school at the beginning of the year,
and she feels a connection to him, almost like she knows him. She can't stop
thinking about him, but whenever she tries talking with him about the mysteries
behind her feelings, he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her.
Reaching him is even more difficult because she has a boyfriend, Jeremy, who
has started to become full of himself after being elected co-captain of the
varsity soccer team, and her flirtatious best friend Chelsea starts dating Drew
soon after his arrival. So why can't she get him out of her mind?
Even though Lizzie
knows she should let go of her fascination with Drew, fighting fate isn't going
to be easy.

How far would you go to get revenge?
When Chelsea
Givens discovered that her ex-boyfriend Drew dumped her to be with her former
best friend Lizzie, she'd never felt so betrayed in her life. Then her new
friend Shannon tells her she can help set things right. Chelsea's willing to
listen, but what Shannon wants her to believe -- that she shared a past life
with Drew -- is impossible. And what she wants her to do to get him back …
well, it's downright crazy.
Could Shannon be
telling the truth? And if she is, what lengths will Chelsea go if it means
making Lizzie pay?
Find out in Vengeance,
the second part of the Transcend Time Saga.
*Vengeance is the
short story that bridges the events in Remembrance and the final novel in the

IT'S A RACE
AGAINST TIME.
In Remembrance,
Lizzie and Drew changed the course of fate so they could be together.
In Vengeance,
Chelsea set fate back on its original, deadly path.
Now, strange
things keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to come. A
curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did in her past life.
To make matters worse, even if she can figure out who cast the curse, it's
irreversible. There's only one option left for her to save herself. It's
crazier than anything she's heard yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and
Chelsea's help.
Because to make
things right, they must go back to when it all began ... and Lizzie discovers
that the final events in her past life were more sinister than she ever
imagined.

HOW TAYLOR SWIFT’S “LOVE STORY” MUSIC VIDEO INSPIRED REMEMBRANCE
The “Love Story” music video premiered in the
fall of 2008. The first time I watched it, I was entranced. Taylor sees a guy
while walking through campus, and the moment their eyes connect, the scene
flashes to the two of them dancing at a beautiful ball dressed in clothes that
appear to be from around the year 1815. It’s magical to watch, and the video is
so amazing that it gave me chills. I watched it over and over again, and a
story started to piece together in my mind. A story about a girl reincarnated
from Regency Era, England, who doesn’t realize it until her soul mate transfers
into her school and triggers her memories to gradually return to her.
In that semester at school, I was taking a
class called Intro to Creative Writing. One of our first big assignments in
class was to write anything we wanted and bring it in to share with everyone.
Since the characters and scenes that came to me while watching “Love Story”
refused to leave my mind, I decided that for the project, I would write the
first chapter of what I then called “The Story Inspired by ‘Love Story.’”
After completing the chapter, I stared at it
for about an hour, worrying about what my classmates would think after reading
it. I assumed everyone else would write about “normal” topics—not reincarnation
and seeing your soulmate from the past for the first time! What if they thought
what I wrote was weird? I nearly erased it in favor of turning something else
in, but then I remembered something Taylor had said:
"If you’re lucky enough to be different from everyone else, don't
change."
I listened to her advice. Yes, what I wrote
was going to be way different from what everyone else in class wrote, but I was
okay with that. And after I read the chapter aloud to the class, I was amazed
to find out that everyone in my class, including my teacher, loved it.
Actually, they more than loved it—they wanted to read more!
But I had never written a novel before, and
the idea of making the plunge and going for it intimidated me. What if I failed
and couldn’t finish it? That worried me, but again, I remembered something
Taylor had said:
"To me, fearless isn't not having fears; it's not that you're not
afraid of anything. I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but
you jump anyway."
So I jumped.
And now, three years after I saw the “Love
Story” music video for the first time, my debut novel Remembrance is finally available for everyone to read. I’m so happy
to be able to share it with you. I can only hope that if you choose to read it,
you end up enjoying it as much as I loved writing it!
Thank you for taking the time to read my
story about how “Love Story” and Taylor Swift helped me get to where I am
today!
In the fall of 2008, Michelle saw Taylor Swift’s “Love Story” music
video for the first time. She thought up a story to go along with the video,
and wrote the first chapter as a homework assignment for class. Her classmates
and teacher loved it so much that they wanted to know what happened next, so
Michelle continued writing, and that story eventually became Remembrance, the first novel in the
Transcend Time Saga. She’s so happy to be able to share this series with you,
and hopes you enjoy reading it as much as she loved writing it!

Michelle lives in Florida, and is hard at work writing more novels
for young adults.
